COMM-DRV/Lib v16.0 Upgrade

Windows 95 and Windows NT WIN32® support is here!!! Willies Computer Software Co.(WCSC) is proud to announce COMM-DRV/LIB version 16.0. It has been over a year since our last upgrade and we are sure you won't want to miss the new features and enhancements of this version.

WCSC continues to add value to the COMM-DRV/LIB product while maintaining the best price/performance ratio of any serial communication library/DLL/tool on the market. This one product now supports MS-DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows NT, and Windows 95!!.

As promised, the COMM-DRV/LIB v16.0 Upgrade is 100% upwardly compatible with our previous versions. We know your time is valuable and our commitment to compatibility stands. Given that we added 32 bit support for Windows NT, and Windows 95, this was no easy task. As usual, it was difficult to get the enhancements without adversely affecting compatibility, but we got there successfully.

This upgrade offers new features for both our 16 bit users and those migrating their applications to the WIN32 specification.

· Manual Updated

The description of each function now has an example usage sub-section, a section with related functions, and any caveats that may be present. Chapters were added for COMM-DRV/Lib's use with QuickBasic, Visual Basic, Access, Windows 95, Windows NT, and more.

COMM-DRV/Lib now support third party Windows drivers. This dramatically leverages user software to support any hardware device that is not supported directly by COMM-DRV/Lib's low level software.

Several modem functions were added. Existing functions were enhanced. All modem functions that read data from the serial stream can now call a user function with the data being read. This is great for user information and for debugging purposes.

GetString()'s end of line delimeter is now configurable. You can now use this function to get a packet delimited by any particular byte. This is very useful in writing simple custom protocols.

A new family of Waitfor() functions was added that is not dependent on NULL terminated strings. These functions work on binary streams as well.
